coMPosrrl ON ON GIRLS BY ONE OF
OUR PRIMARY STUDENTS.
Some girls. work hard and some do
not; Girls play hard; They play good
deal harder than they work. Girls are
not brave; if you want to hear a girl
scream just show her an angleworm;
that is why they can't catch fish; they
are afraid of the bait; Girls are afraid
in the dark. They are handy to have
around though; they play on the organ
and sing. If fellow cuts his finger
they will do it up very nice for him.
Some girls are very proud. l love to
see girls wear pretty dresses. After
all girls are pretty nice, my sisters are.

useless. A life addicted to useless pur-
suits so weakens the mind as to make
it incapable of vigorous. much less sus-

The young are the creatures of i'm
